Azerbaijan has launched the Parvaz studio for creating startups from scratch

The studio develops initial versions of products, seeks founders to manage them, and helps existing startups enter the markets of Central Asia and the Middle East.

A startup studio called Parvaz has opened in Azerbaijan, focusing on creating early-stage companies and supporting startups as they expand into new markets.

Unlike traditional accelerators, Parvaz independently develops the initial version of a product, including design and code, and then finds a person to lead the company. As the founder takes on operational tasks and business development, they receive a stake in the company's equity.

The studio targets two categories of entrepreneurs: those who have an idea but lack a team to implement it, and those who want to manage an existing business but do not plan to create a product from scratch.

Parvaz offers four formats of collaboration. Entrepreneurs can lead an existing project, propose an idea for product development, join a program for teams with a ready-made product or initial users, or find a co-founder through the studio's network of contacts.

Participants also gain access to a community of engineers, product specialists, and company founders. Support includes consulting on product development, engineering, business growth, and fundraising.

Another area of Parvaz's work is helping startups enter international markets. Currently, the studio is exploring expansion opportunities in Central Asia and the Middle East, establishing contacts with relevant partners, startup hubs, and investment funds, taking into account the development stage of the companies.

Parvaz's portfolio includes three projects. Komissio is a partnership platform for SaaS products working with Stripe and Shopify stores. Rawuser focuses on personalizing websites created using artificial intelligence. PropCraft develops a platform for preparing commercial proposals for agencies.

The studio's founders are Agshin Rajabov, Ayaz Ibrahimov, and Alastan Asadzade. Parvaz accepts applications from entrepreneurs with ideas, existing startup teams, and those looking for an opportunity to lead a company or find a co-founder.

The studio aims to simplify the path from idea to finished product and help create new companies in Azerbaijan with the prospect of expanding into neighboring markets. Applications can be submitted on the Parvaz website.
